About Kirstin Skadberg, Ph.D.

President | Environmental Strategist | Owner’s Representative
With over 25 years of experience in the California environmental landscape, Kirstin Skadberg provides a rare combination of technical rigor and operational reliability. As the founder of KSC, she specializes in navigating the "Implementation Gap"—the critical phase where complex designs and environmental permits must be translated into successful, compliant construction.
Kirstin’s approach is rooted in technical advocacy. Whether serving as an Owner’s Representative for a $11M restoration project or acting as a strategic WOSB partner for a Prime contractor on a massive civil infrastructure program, her goal is the same: to de-risk the project by ensuring environmental milestones are integrated into the master schedule, not just treated as a sidebar.

What Sets KSC Apart?

• The Scientific Edge: Kirstin holds a Ph.D. in Ecology. This academic foundation allows her to speak the language of resource agencies (RWQCB, USACE, CDFW) with total technical credibility, resolving field issues before they trigger costly delays.
• The Behavioral Approach: Leveraging her background in professional development and learning science, Kirstin designs proprietary results-oriented training that goes beyond compliance "box-checking." She fosters a "Compliance Culture" on-site, educating crews to take ownership of environmental protection boundaries.
• A Legacy of Responsible Stewardship: From de-channelizing urban creeks in San Diego to permitting major public infrastructure projects, Kirstin has a proven track record of delivering projects that are both environmentally resilient and fiscally sound.
